Leslie largely influenced Glenwood Springs design standards in the public and private sectors prior to becoming the DDA's Executive Director from 2010 to 2018. Leslie contributed to the Grand Avenue Bridge project and site design, the 7th Street and Cooper Avenue streetscape improvements, and the 2017 6th Street Corridor Master Plan. Leslie's work has set an architectural standard by directing the design for the 9th and Cooper parking garage and Glenwood Springs Branch Library. Leslie's vision for the design of downtown Glenwood Springs will leave a lasting impact for decades to come.
